In the beginning Matira couldn't abandon her family so she couldn't choose love, later the one she loved killed her family so she could never choose love. One could say for 2000 yrs, rather than punishing him, Matira gifted herself tragic love- the only kind of love she would let herself have.
Matira really isnt evil. In her moment of weakness, she allowed the goddess she served possess her. The one who keeps hurting him over and over again is actually a possessed or a merged matira-goddess self.
Before the merge Matira understood that both her family and her lover had their own reasons and personally said she didnt want to force him. She didnt want to use him like her family was using her.
And the merged matira is not happy to torture him rather she is content to do so. Each time, she seeks him out, each time they fall in love and each time she kills herself. Matira's sword leaves them both bleeding and broken.
So Matira laughs at the end but Matira also weeps at the end.
Now to the stupidity, angst and all that frustration. Prepare for utter madness whenever the situation gets good…
Actually, we all know that Qi Shuli was mentally ill. Just that he never acknowledged it and his position plus people's ridiculous idea of the overbearing CEO helps him to hide it a little.
But although there are many things that dong quite follow logic in the later part of the plot esp Milan but its right that Shuli's mental state isnt properly addressed but just glossed over.
I think the way this is skimmed over fits in with both his personality and his current environment.
I think the reason for the ending was that in Bokgu's cognition Eun Seok had his second saddest moment, his second happiest and his second most fortunate moment. If she was first for him in even one it may have been different.
Someone else was first in everything which is why he could want to be with her but could never keep the conviction to do so.
He could take a day but not a future.
For Bokgu dying for her was a thousand times easier than living for her and ten thousand times easier than a future with her.
No matter how many Japanese BL I watched, I’m still baffled about the fascination for depressing and tragic…
I think Noeru was already dead. I went back to the beginning to check and he was completely still from the train ride in the opening scene. I think Taishin took Noerus' corpse to the beach so they could die 'together'.
So I did a lot of research on this lakorn because I’m extremely obsessed with it right now lmao, and I found…
I agree that the switching part made it easier for Eoi to recognise his feelings. While I also think having to act like a girl was an obstacle to him developing feelings for Mac though it was also a stimulant. (It was a hindrance at first but once he got over that his feelings would then grow deeper as a result)
Wait hold up..So it was Uey (twin brother) the one that did surgery???(after the surgery Uey is now portrait by…
Both Mai and Eoi changed their faces. Mai wanted a different face and got plastic surgery after the fire (both Mai and Eoi's faces got burned) but their mother secretly got the doctor to give Eoi the same face as Mai during his reconstructive surgery.

I'm not sure about that. Eoi fell for Mac at first sight. It's a key scene in the drama.
It causes hom to doubt his orientation and try to test things out, though the implication is that he isnt gay because the only male he is attracted to is Mac.
Thus he will likely still have fallen for Mac if he wasnt raised as a girl but all the switching drama wouldnt have happened. (Though a different kind of drama might have).
Pakapong is wrong very wrong and his actions are rather icky but it is unjust to attribute it to revenge. In fact when Pakapong says he wants revenge its all a lie. its true though that he cant forgive. he cant forgive his mother yet he still badly wants something, anything. Some small sign of acknowledgement or better yet love, from her. if he really hated her, when she hugged him? why did he not push her away, why was his expression so hurt when she pushed him away?
In reality he was a wounded beast whose pain had sent him into a frenzy when he hurt all around him especially himself.
She isn't Cinderella because if she was she wouldn't have cheated. Cant call her Mulan either or she wouldn't have accepted his help to the end, not sleeping beauty or she wouldn't have tried to run away instead of obediently waiting for her kiss. definitely not beauty or she would have loved the beast as he was.
Seo mi do was not ordinary but she wasn't that special either, Han Tae Sang knew that and loved her madly all the same.
The truckload of heroines we see that are good, honest, kind or other flattering adjectives often helps us forget that love fortunately or unfortunately is not something deserved or earned. When a Man Loves is a reminder of that truth.
I have a question.
Whom did the main lead really loved? Tae sang or Jae Hee?
Although we cant say if Seo mi do loves our Tee-tee for a multitude of reasons such as
1. she isn't quite what we stereo-typically call a good woman
2. she cherishes herself very much
3. she is a contradiction; simultaneously both a realist and a romantic
but we can be certain that she never loved jae hee which makes him a bit pitiful even though he is annoying as hell.

He doesn't need the money so it won't occur to them to suspect
